Use npm shrinkwrap and/or pin dependencies where possible to avoid breaking changes #136

@evanweible-wf

Description

@evanweible-wf

Ideally, setting up our dependencies like we've done (with the caret ^) should be fine because packages follow semver and updating minor versions shouldn't break compatibility. But, as demonstrated by our recent issue with PhantomJS (#135), this isn't always the case.

We should investigate the following:

  • Pinning as many dependencies as possible
    • Pro: Pinned dependencies can't break wGulp in the future
    • Con: We don't get the benefit of continuously receiving their updates
  • Using npm shrinkwrap
    • Pro: We can still specify package ranges, but lock them down once we have a working set
    • Pro: Easier to update dependencies
    • Con: Still need to cut new releases to update dependencies
